Description

Calling allmembers who admire and love flowers! Andespecially those who (like me regrettably) are a little bit unsure - awkwardeven - of how to best to present them!The Society is delighted to offer an exclusiveevening of flower arranging toour members in the traditional heart of theLondon flower trade, Covent Garden.Itwill take place on the evening ofFriday 24 November.

The Covent Garden Academy of Flowers isone of the world's leading flower design schools, renowned for its floristrycourses taught by skilled professionals. For one evening only Cambridge Societymembers will be able to experience anexclusive workshop at the Academy ofFlowers where they will make their own unique floral table arrangement to takehome afterwards.

Guests will be given canapes and aglass of fizz on arrival. The evening will also include a short talk on thehistory of Covent Garden and its historic association with flowers, and experttips on how to get the best from your flower arrangement.

The £60 ticket price includes allmaterials and a glass of bubbles and canapes on the night. It alsorepresents a good discount compared to what you would pay if you booked thiscourse as a member of the public. And no gender stereotyping please!This is for everyone, not just for femaleparticipants - the men who have attended this course previously have reallyenjoyed themselves: making the arrangements is very hands on.

This is a truly exclusive event, justfor the Society, and there are only 25 places in total.We have decided to open it to members plusone guest each, so couples are very welcome (men are encouraged to attend as muchas women).

Member: £60

Guest: £65
